R.I.P.

For those of you who don't know, he was the keyboard player in Deep Purple. He single-handedly turned the organ into a hard-rock instrument, and any rock or metal band using keyboards today owes some credit to him.

He has shaped my life. Him and Keith Emerson have given me the love of rock keyboard that I will have for the rest of my life. I will always love deep purple. I will always love keyboard. Thank you John Lord. You will be missed. May your keyboard rock in heaven as it did on this earth.
